😱 without a doubt the biggest spider I've seen, when it was on the wall with its legs all spread out it was as big as the cup. I'm dying thinking about where it might have been crawling all night

You're very naughty @Bearfrills

As someone with a phobia (birds), I feel very sorry for people who are terrified of spiders. That sickening rush of panic that takes your breath away is just awful.

We have loads of spiders, and I rather like them, except for the bloody webs that hang off every wall and ceiling in my house.

I like spiders- not as pets but as skittery little helpers munching up all the flies!

Eezergoode spiders don't really like being outside, they're looking for a mate. The '5' massive spiders you found were probably infact one insistant horny spider that kept coming back. Kill it next time.

May I borrow your spider, daisy if you won't miss the handsome fellow ?

I was wondering if he might eat moths, which are plaguing me.
Anyone know ?

I've no fear of insects, but the moth invasion keep crawling into my water glass and I dislike crunchy / slithery drinks that won't keep still when going down.

My son (21 yrs old and 6ft 4!!) just screamed 'Mum' from upstairs - there was a spider of similar proportions on his towel!!!! He hoovered it up - I know its cruel but i just cant cope with them at that size - why do they need so many legs?!!!!
